I’ve always been partial to green. Now, green is a tricky color. I think that’s what endears it to my soul. It’s tricky because it’s able to mask itself, in a way. Greens can lean gray, blue, brown, yellow – honestly – it’s like it’s own little disguise artist. The shades of green are varied and rich (& I’m obsessed). Take a peek at my top 5 paint picks in February with a few gorgeous shades of green.

There are so many reasons why I adore the color green. Number one, it reminds me of baby poop (I apologize if that weirds you out – but I *am* a weirdo, so, we’re going to have to accept this and deal with it, my friend). Babies are the best – and they poop (a lot). Sometimes, it’s a greenish yellow and it makes me happy, okay? Anyway.

Sherwin Williams Chesterfield Green

I’ve been playing a lot with greens in several spaces right now. Most recently, I decided to rip off the peel and stick paper (that I still love, by the way), and paint the wall space above the bead board a deep, mossy green. I scoured the paint swatch section in Lowes and settled on Chesterfield Green from their Better Homes paint line.

I prefer greens with a mix of yellow and brown because they feel so much more earthy to me. The Chesterfield Green I used definitely fits the bill. It’s a fairly dark color so it would do well in large spaces with natural light or as an accent. Of course, this green may not be for you – but I’ve also hand-picked a few other earthy greens that caught my eye.

Earthy Greens by Sherwin Williams

There are so many color options from Sherwin Williams that catch my eye – but I narrowed my list to five for this post. Which one speaks to you? First up is Inverness – another dark and moody green for the nature lover.

Inverness has a lot of the same qualities that I noticed in Chesterfield. This paint would make a beautiful accent – I see it working well as a lower cabinet or island color, too. I’m loving how it looks on these office cabinets!

Next, I had to share Garden Spot. Like its name implies, it’s the perfect outdoorsy green that will make you feel like you’ve brought a little bit of the summer garden, inside.

Garden Spot is another fantastic option for a simple accent wall. I think it works nicely in this space – lots of natural light brings out the best!

My next selection is much lighter and it gives me all the spring vibes that I am craving right now! Baize Green reminds me of the tiny tree buds that begin to appear as the weather warms and the world turns green, again. I think that Baize would look so nice in a light and airy kitchen – it’s an uplifting and cheery green!

The fourth color on my faves list this month is Leapfrog (no, I didn’t just pick it for the name…even though it *is* fun). Leapfrog is a few shades darker than Baize. I envision Leapfrog as a great laundry room accent color. We have built-ins that would come to life in this color!

Last (though it’s probably my favorite from this list), is Relentless Olive. It’s a wonderful blend of the earthy tones I love and brings so much life to a space!

I found an example of Relentless Olive used as an accent color on a bedroom ceiling! Would you paint your ceiling a dark, moody color? This really seems to lift the eye, making the ceiling feel higher. Such a cool idea!

Whether you’re a fan of soft neutrals or warm, earthy tones – you can appreciate the power of green. Never tried green? Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. You may find it’s just what your space and your soul needs! Remember that any paint color can look different depending on the space and the light – so make sure to grab a sample or two before jumping in to your next big project. Thanks for “going green” with me, friends. Until next time, peace, love, & light (after coffee)!
